November 06, 2016 "Tell Them You Are My Sister" - Class Lech Lecha
Analyzing Avraham’s Request from a Halachik & Spiritual Perspective

It is a uniquely enigmatic Midrash. Avraham says to his wife Sarah upon arriving to Egypt, “Please Say That You Are My Sister!” And the Midrash says: “From here we deduce that one may slaughter an animal on the Shabbos for an ill person.” What is the connection between the two?
The class explores three perspectives, the simple explanation; the insight by the Kesav Sofer; and a novel interpretation by the Lubavitcher Rebbe. It boils down to how Avraham analyzed the patterns of behavior that would be employed by the Egyptians, who would be willing to kill him but not to take a married woman.
The class concludes with the analysis of the story on a psychological and spiritual level, in our own marriages, and in our relationship with G-d.
This class was presented on Sunday morning Lech Lecha, 5 Cheshvan, 5777, November 10, 2016, at the Ohr Chaim shul in Monsey, NY.

October 19, 2016 The Secret of Hoshana Raba: When All the Jews Ate On Yom Kippur - Class Hoshana Rabah/Vayikra
The Rogatchover's Dazzling Spin on Hoshana Raba -- The One Time in History the Collective Guilt Offering was Brought

The Mishna and Gemarah define the seventh day of Sukkos as the day designated to the mitzvah of Aravah; the Zohar sees it as the final day of judgement and atonement. But why this day? How did Hoshana Raba become a day of atonement?
It was the Rogatchover Gaon who in a letter suggested a dazzlingly novel idea. It was the day that the entire Jewish nation brought an offering of atonement for a major sin they all committed by mistake: eating and drinking on Yom Kippur.
At the peak of the celebration for the dedication of the First Beis Hamikdash, the Supreme Court of the Jewish people made a terrible miscalculation. They needed atonement. And that gave us the holiday of Hoshna Rabah. Not only did this major collective failure not destroy the joy; ultimately it transformed the people of Israel into Baalei Teshuvah, and allowed them to reach even greater spiritual and emotional heights.
